A notable work on liturgy

Weaver, in producing this work, has contributed a great deal to the existing library of works on liturgy. Though the title indicates that the book is intended for clergy, this book is crucial to the lay leader's and, indeed, the layperson's, understanding of worship and should not be relegated to the dusty shelves of the seminary bookstore. Indeed, all vital and vibrant churches should have at least one copy of Presbyterian Worship in their libraries. Seminarians alone should not have the privilege of enjoying this timely and exciting book.

Hands down, the best book on worship today

This book is a must-have for any preacher's library.
